Pros

*Lots of room for improvement here *Chaotic environment (if that's your thing) *Loyal personnel *Well-maintained facilities

Cons

*Customer service issues *Product issues *Resource issues (extremely short staffed, no SMEs left) *Application knowledge issues *Nonexistent training *General malaise (stress, burnout, fear-driven culture, fragile egos) *Slow moving in the faced-paced world of healthcare *Little unified vision besides talk *Initiatives are reactive and run on fear, confusion and stress rather than focus, strategy and priorities. *Key and influencial IT staff and high performers seem to get easily lost in the shuffle of confusion, incompetence, and mistrust *Avoidance is the main solution

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
